In absence of any other way of communicating with his fans I'm posting this notice in the hopes of reaching all who care.
Honestly, I can't believe I have to write this, that this actually happened, even after all these weeks of trying to work through it. But tragically it did happen and now we must live in this new world, a world that is so much poorer, a world that we were left behind in.
As some of you already know, the best and brightest author of our small community, byrhthelm aka Trevor, passed away this October to a serious illness.
I won't go into detail what this illness was because if he wanted you to know about this personal matter, he kept you informed and so you have a pretty good idea.
My apologies if this notice comes across as disjointed and awkward, but this is the first time I had to write something like this and it's exceedingly hard for me to put into words what I've been feeling these weeks.
As I write this I stare at his profile on this website, at the words "I started this journey on 25 July 1952, and I haven't, as yet, got to the end of it" and I can feel my throat seizing up. You have now gotten to the end of it, my friend, and now it's on us to continue down that road without you. If there is afterlife I know you are doing all the things you've been unable to do in life and wishing you could for so many years.
Rest in peace, my dear friend, you deserved peace. One day, maybe soon, maybe after a long time, we'll meet again and when we do you can bet your ass that this time we're gonna do that ton together.
In loving memory of Trevor,
1952-2016
